发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Only random rhymes with tandem: /ˈrændəm/ has the same stressed vowel and following /ndəm/. The -dom words (freedom, wisdom, kingdom, seldom) all end in the same unstressed /dəm/, but their stressed vowels differ, so they do not rhyme. Handsome looks as if it might rhyme because it also has /æn/ + /əm/, but the middle consonant /s/ differs from tandem's /d/, so it is not an exact rhyme.
